The 2019 Montefalco Sagrantino Campo Alla Cerqua is darkly floral, blending crushed blackberries and wild blueberries accentuated by sweet sage and autumnal spice. This is cool-toned and racy in style, with a crisp wave of ripe red and black fruits underscored by tactile minerals and lavender tones. Edgy tannins resonate through the long and potent finale as the 2019 maintains grace and finesse. There's fantastic energy within the 2019 Campo Alaa Cerqua, but a balance exists for a long and fruitful evolution. - Eric Guido

Flavors of chopped cherry and raspberry, mineral, red licorice and cocoa powder are rich and expressive in this powerful red, which also shows fine integration and silky grace on the palate, keeping the power in restraint. Lively and well-spiced, with a lingering, chalky-textured finish echoing the ripe fruit and accents of Mediterranean macchia and ground anise and pepper. Best from 2027 through 2039. 150 cases made
